The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 391 Let's just take him down!

Ginseng Fruit brought over the freshly brewed medicine and saw the Heavenly Thunder Token, which had long since become a quasi-magical artifact, trembling incessantly.

"Host, what's wrong?"

The Heavenly Thunder Token is a natal magic weapon that Yun Ran crafted using countless essences and rare materials.

It could be said that they were of one mind with each other, but this situation was clearly not right.

Ginseng Fruit tilted its head and asked in confusion, "Could it be that this Heavenly Thunder Token is about to develop sentience?"

In fact, the more powerful a magical artifact is, the less likely it is to develop sentience, let alone a quasi-magical treasure.

The existence of ginseng fruit as a system-integrated magical artifact is an exceptional case among exceptional cases.

Yun Ran's gaze fell on the Heavenly Thunder Token again, then she firmly shook her head: "No."

If the Heavenly Thunder Decree were to truly develop sentience, given the muddled nature of the Heavenly Dao in this small world, it would surely unleash a tribulation of lightning.

Yun Ran closed her eyes and quietly sensed the unusual nature of the Heavenly Thunder Token.

The ginseng fruit didn't dare disturb Yunran, so it stood aside without making a sound.

A few minutes later, Yun Ran opened her eyes, her eyes filled with shock.

His tone was clearly tinged with resentment: "The Heavenly Thunder Pearl that I left with Xie Xuzhi shattered, but before it shattered, it actually fused with a portion of the Dragon Essence!"
The Thunder Pearls were originally made from the leftover scraps from refining the Thunder Tokens, so there is a special connection between them.

Now, all the power of that Heavenly Thunder Pearl has merged into Xie Xuzhi's body, giving the Heavenly Thunder Token the wrong signal..."

Upon hearing this, Ginseng Fruit's mind went blank for a moment.

Even though he tried his best to be a human being, as a system, he sometimes felt that his understanding was insufficient.

"Host, could you explain it in simpler terms?"

Yun Ran took a deep breath to suppress the urge to curse.

He gritted his teeth and said, "My natal magic weapon has mistaken Xie Xuzhi for that Heavenly Thunder Pearl, and has developed a special resonance with him!!!"

Ginseng fruit: ...

This is absolutely terrible news!
If a Xuan Master's natal magic weapon resonates with someone else, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

If that person harbors malicious intentions, the owner of the natal magic weapon will suffer disgrace and ruin, which is only the lightest outcome. In more serious cases, they will be extinct from the cycle of birth and death and will never be reincarnated again.

Ginseng Fruit said somewhat uncertainly, "Xie Xuzhi shouldn't be that despicable, right..."

But he himself had absolutely no confidence in saying that.

The current situation is like having someone other than Yunran who can freely access his armory; just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

Ginseng Fruit suddenly became emboldened and said, "Why don't we just kill him? This kind of trouble can't be left alive. Rather than living in fear, we should strike first!"

Although killing Xie Xuzhi would not be worthwhile in the long run, he was a threat nonetheless.

Yunran: ...

She turned her head and saw that the fierce expression on Ginseng Fruit's face was still there, so she reached out and ruffled his hair.

"What nonsense are you spouting! Qingfeng Temple's rules don't allow for the arbitrary killing of anyone. Go back and copy Qingfeng Temple's rules ten times!"

When Ginseng Fruit heard that he was to copy the sect rules, his previously fierce expression turned pitiful.

"There's no need to worry too much. The influence of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl is limited. Although Xie Xuzhi is the deputy director of the Special Administration Bureau, he doesn't know any Xuanmen techniques. Even if I hand the Heavenly Thunder Token over to him, he won't be able to use it much. At most, he'll be able to summon a thin bolt of heavenly lightning."

What troubled Yunran was that she had calculated everything, but she hadn't calculated that her entanglement with Xie Xuzhi's destiny would be in such a way.

Yun Ran, who was getting increasingly annoyed, even looked at the Heavenly Thunder Token with displeasure and immediately cast a spell at it!
"Stop trembling! Believe me or not, I'll put you in solitary confinement!"

As soon as Yun Ran finished speaking, the Heavenly Thunder Token, which had been trembling, immediately calmed down.

Back then, in order to tame the magical artifacts left behind by Qingfeng Temple, she was always covered in wounds and looked terrible before those artifacts recognized her as their master.

But the Heavenly Thunder Token, which was clearly his own natal magic weapon that he had painstakingly crafted, so easily 'acknowledged' someone else.

Even if it was a coincidence, it still infuriated Yunran.

This is no different from a parent's own child being overly affectionate towards someone else.

The ginseng fruit finally understood why its host was angry. It wasn't that it was worried Xie Xuzhi could use its natal magic weapon, but rather that it was angry that the Heavenly Thunder Token had come so eagerly!
Habitually vying for favor, he immediately jumped out to pledge his loyalty: "Host, I only recognize you. No one but you, not even the King of Heaven himself."

I won't give face to anyone else; I'll only listen to you. If you tell me to go east, I'll go east; if you tell me to go west, I'll go west!

Yun Ran, who was initially sulking, immediately suppressed a laugh at these words: "Really?"

"Of course, I'm more real than pearls. I'm a system from a higher world, super intelligent, unlike these stupid magical artifacts that haven't developed any sentience!"

Although Ginseng Fruit was putting people down, he was telling the truth. So what if it's a quasi-magic weapon? It can't compare to him!

The little paper figures flew over at that moment, saying obsequiously, "Master, we will only listen to you!"

Even Mo Zhi, who was living inside the jade tablet, eagerly poked his head out.

He said very earnestly, "Master, I will listen to you from now on. Even if ghost immortals or ghost emperors come, I will only listen to you!"

Ginseng Fruit looked speechlessly at the little paper doll and Ghost General Mo Zhi, and rolled its eyes when no one was looking.

They're all shrewd scholars, how can he possibly highlight his status as the eldest son of the family now!

Yunran burst out laughing immediately; her earlier annoyance vanished in an instant.

"Alright, you guys go do whatever you were doing!"

Although she can be petty at times and tends to take her anger out on others, she's not this petty.

Ginseng Fruit breathed a sigh of relief. Heaven knows, it was too much for a system like him to have to know how to coax people.

He quickly handed over the medicine, saying, "Host, please drink this medicine first."

Tomorrow is the final round of the competition, and I can't go on stage with an injury.

Yunran then picked up the bowl and drank the medicine in one gulp.

I had just finished taking my medicine when the phone rang.

Seeing the familiar number, Yunran would have answered immediately in the past.

But now, she doesn't want to hear anything about Xie Xuzhi anymore; it's so annoying!

He tossed the phone to Ginseng Fruit: "Get rid of him. The Special Administration Bureau isn't just me. Don't come to me for everything. I have no interest in being a model worker!"

"Alright, host, don't worry, I'll definitely get things done!"
